Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Because termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling can make it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
